JeannieWell, let's hear Jeannie explain.
Oh man, well, you're taking raw wool and you're putting a twist in order to get it hold it together to make yarn which you then can make into hats or sweaters or blankets or whatever.   
She's amazing!  She does everything.  Well, almost everything.  In our conversation she said she doesn't wash the wool because it's too difficult.  But in her case, she begins by cutting the wool off the backs of the sheep with scissors.
Okay, in my case it came off the sheep with scissors.  And the sheep stand up like little dogs and I cut the wool off of their backs.  And it's a big job.  And then it's very dirty so you need to wash it.  And after washing it needs to be combed or carded so it's easily spun.
Right comb C-O-M-B.   
Right! To comb your hair.  She cuts the wool, sends it someone else to wash it, combs the wool, spins the wool into yarn and then knits the yarn into hats, sweaters or blankets.  It's amazing!  
That's a good question.  I asked Jeannie the same thing.
Well, it takes many many hours.  I'd say a hat probably takes six hours.  A sweater I think takes 30-40 hours.
But you know, I think that Jeannie really loves the process not really the product.
I love the process of taking a raw thing like a dirty sheep and raising the babies and then ending up with incredible works of art.
Jeannie.  She's wonderful.  I just love her.  Thanks for joining us on American Cafe.
